Order Option

Just a reminder...
If you are buying at least 20 lbs of mangos and know the varieties that you would like, you can place your order in advance and pick it up at a mutually-convenient time.
For days when we are not open, it's often possible to place your order and pick it up in the afternoon.  If you're picking up on a day when we are open, please place your order at least 24 hours in advance.

Mango Care

Mangos should be ripened on your countertop, in a paper bag, or in a cardboard box.  Plastic bags are just for convenience when purchasing.  Please take the mangos out of plastic bags as soon as possible.
Treat Mangos like Bananas.  Temperatures below 55 Fahrenheit will damage the fruit.  Extended chill will make most mangos taste like sweet mush.  I leave cut up mangos on the counter.  Whatever isn't eaten in a few hours, I freeze.
Some mango varieties might not appear ripe when they actually are.  Usually the best way to judge ripeness is smell.  The skin of Keitt, Petegrew, Mallika and Carrie will often be green when ripe.  Also, Petegrew and sometimes other varieties can take weeks to ripen.

Remember Mangos for Memorial Day

Tomorrow (Wednesday, May 20) we will be open 4-5pm

 

Memorial Day (Monday, May 25) we will be open 12-1:30

 

and Saturdays 9am - noon

 

 

 

The variety and quantity of mangos that we are picking seems to increase every day. 

Mangos are a great addition to every meal, but they are especially good with summer barbeques and potlucks.  My two favorite mango recipes are in the "Recipes" section of the blog, but of course my favorite way to enjoy mangos is fresh! 

Welcome Back, and Thanks!

It seemed that all the early morning customers brought their own bags!  Thank You!
And lots of regular mango customers visited for the first time this mango season... so good to see all of you!  Welcome Back!

The mangos will become increasingly plentiful over the next several weeks.  Many varieties are almost ready to pick.  We hope everyone discovers at least a few varieties to fall in love with.

Enjoy! 

If possible... B.Y.O.B.

Buying as few bags as possible is one way we try to minimize our impact on the environment.  If you could your own Boxes and/or Bags for you fruit purchases, it would help us out. 

Thanks!
